// THE SOME1 MANIFESTO

THE OLD
WORLD
IS DEAD

The economics of software have fundamentally shifted. Everything you were told about how software gets built is now obsolete.

// CHAPTER 01

THE COOKIE
CUTTER ERA

In the beginning, code was expensive. Really expensive. A single engineer could cost more than a factory floor of workers. So the industry did what industries do—they optimized for scale, not fit.

Software became a mass-production game. Build one product. Sell it to millions. Never mind that it doesn't quite fit anyone's workflow. Never mind the features you'll never use. Never mind that you're adapting your business to the software, instead of the other way around.

The cookie cutter era was born from necessity. It survives now only through inertia.

The street finds its own uses for things—uses the manufacturers never imagined.

THE BLOATWARE
TAX

SaaS companies discovered an elegant trick: charge for features, not value. The more features they add, the more they can charge. That the features create complexity, slow down your work, and confuse your team? That's your problem.

You pay for a CRM with 200 features. You use 6. You pay for a project management tool with integrations to 150 services. You need 3. You pay for AI that hallucinates, analytics you never check, dashboards no one opens.

Every unused feature is a tax on your attention, your wallet, and your sanity.

[SIMULATION] Feature creep: Memory full, wallet empty

// CHAPTER 03

THE SAAS
TRAP

They called it “Software as a Service.” A beautiful euphemism for “you will never own anything.” Pay monthly. Pay forever. Stop paying? Lose everything. Your data, your workflows, your history—hostage to a recurring charge.

The brilliance of SaaS was convincing an entire generation that ownership was old-fashioned. That paying rent on your tools was somehow more modern than owning them outright.

After 5 years of payments, you own exactly what you started with: nothing.

[SIMULATION] Subscription counter: ∞ payments, 0 ownership

We shape our tools, and thereafter our tools shape us.

THE AGENCY
ILLUSION

Agencies promised custom solutions. What they delivered was templates with your logo slapped on. The same WordPress theme, the same Shopify setup, the same “custom” solution sold to a hundred other clients.

Their business model was never customization—it was throughput. Deploy fast, bill high, move on. The retainer model ensured perpetual dependency: endless “maintenance,” endless “updates,” endless invoices for work that could have been built right the first time.

They sold bespoke but delivered assembly line.

// THE PARADIGM SHIFT

THEN
EVERYTHING
CHANGED

AI didn't just improve software development. It inverted the entire economic equation.

// CHAPTER 05

THE NEW
REALITY

What once took teams of engineers months now takes days. What once cost hundreds of thousands now costs a fraction. The bottleneck was never imagination—it was execution. That bottleneck is gone.

We've built systems that understand how modern software works. Not templates to be filled in, but intelligent processes that construct software from first principles, tailored to exactly what you need.

Enterprise-grade applications. Custom infrastructure. AI workers. Deployed at lightning speed. On-prem or cloud. Yours forever.

[SIMULATION] Custom build: Your requirements, your software

The best way to predict the future is to invent it.

// THE VISION

WHAT WE
BELIEVE

Software should mold to you, not the reverse

Your business is unique. Your workflows evolved for reasons. The right software enhances what you do—it doesn't force you to change.

Ownership is a right, not a premium feature

The code is yours. The data is yours. Deploy it where you want. Modify it how you want. No subscriptions, no lock-in, no permission needed.

Complexity should serve you, not bill you

Features without purpose are weight. Every line of code should earn its place. Simplicity isn't a limitation—it's a discipline.

Speed and quality are no longer trade-offs

The old constraints are dead. AI-accelerated development means mature, robust, enterprise-ready software—built in days, not years.

// THE FUTURE

THIS IS THE
NEW WAVE

Custom software is going to eat SaaS. It's going to eat agencies. It's going to eat the entire bloated ecosystem that grew fat on artificial scarcity.

Not because we say so. Because the economics demand it. When custom costs less than generic, when fast means days not months, when ownership comes standard—the old models simply cannot compete.

We're not predicting this future. We're building it.
